Tri-River League
High school athletic league in California
The Tri-River Athletic Conference (TRAC) is a high school athletic league that is part of the CIF Central Section. All of the members are major public high schools in Fresno County, California. The name derives from the three major rivers found in the Central Valley: the Fresno, Kings, and San Joaquin Rivers.
TRAC Football History
The Tri-River Athletic Conference was formed before the 1996-97 school year when the Central Section broke up the Northeast and Northwest Yosemite Leagues, in large part due to Fresno Unified schools not being able to compete with the Clovis Unified juggernaut. Original members of the TRAC include: Buchanan, Central, Clovis, Clovis West, Madera, and Sanger.
For two seasons (2002 and 2003), the TRAC was split up into two separate conferences, the Tri-River and Tri-City. The Tri-River consisted of Central, Clovis, Clovis East, and Hoover. Meanwhile, the Tri-City was made up by Buchanan, Bullard, Clovis West, and Madera.
Buchanan has eight TRAC championships to their name, with the first coming in 1997.
Central is the first team to win back-to-back outright TRAC titles.

Why this record matters

Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18158925. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1996, 2002, 2003 and 1997.
